Right. If the US can file charges against Assange and attempt to have him extradited to face them, it should be able to do the same with the NSO Group principals.

To clarify: Considering how popular it is to get other frequently-used consumables home delivered, like food and alcohol, it is on the face of it somewhat surprising that the same is not true of liquid vehicle fuel. My prior comment was sug

I don't see how this follows as a response to the previous comment. (The time required by home charging is not particularly relevant if it's happening while you're sleeping or the car is otherwise idle, anyway).

Probably because the idea of "you have to be home with the car waiting for the fuel guy to turn up" destroys a lot of the convenience, and the fact that car fuel tanks are more than 15 times smaller than typical heating oil tank

They are definitely heated at least in the Teslas, they don't perform well enough when cold.

Why do you think so? The convenience of taking a few moments to plug in when you park for the night, over taking a specific trip to a charging destination, seems pretty hard to beat (and that's before factoring in that home electricity

I'm not sure it actually says that - it says that Tesla has signed a deal for BYD LFP batteries, and it says that BYD blade battery packs are energy dense, but it doesn't actually link those two and say "Tesla has signed a de

The standard range cars have a physically smaller battery and one fewer motor.

The CATL LFP batteries Tesla has been using already have only gone in the SR+ model, because they couldn't fit enough for the necessary range in the LR and P models, so in practice they do seem to use more space. As far as I know they&

They really don't. Pretty much anyone with the ability to charge at home, charges at home for all their day-to-day driving, with stops at charging stations used only for infrequent longer trips.

My experience is that complaints about lack of public charging stations tend to be more from those considering buying an EV than those actually with one. (Those who drive an EV tend to complain more about the maintenance of the public stati

Probably they asked the contract software supplier what it would take, and got an answer back with too many years in the schedule and too many $ on the bottom line.

In my estimation, the ultimate problem with hydrogen isn't any of those three - it's that it's simply far less convenient than battery. Once someone has experienced what it's like to be able to "fill up" overni

Fuelling stations just need traffic. The fuel itself is break-even, they're corner stores with a gimmick to get you in the door.

Luckily for Tesla, pretty much everyone rates themselves as a good driver, so they'll all be expecting to get the good low-risk rates.

The ALP were in government for 6 years between 2007 and 2013. What bills like this did they pass when they were in charge? I don't imply that "amending the bills would fix them". I am pointing out that the Government reject

It wasn't a "bipartisan bill". The Opposition had zero input - they moved amendments that were rejected by the Government. I've explained how the LNP is responsible for it - it was their bill, written by them and passed

Yes, the AAT is what would be described as "regime officials" by the nightly news when it is reporting on a foreign country.

We absolutely can blame the LNP, because they are the Goverment, they draft the laws, they introduce them as Government bills in the parliament, they put them on the notice paper, they determine the sitting schedule that allows them to be d

Japan or Taiwan are also possibilities, or some left-field options like Sweden. I think France should be the short-priced favourite though.
